With your wealth then secure, you will have the opportunity to live a perfectly legal, secure, and interesting life here in the United States. 

 "Switzerland is most armed and most free." - Machiavelli in 16th Century

What Happened To the American Dream

       What has happened to the once respected American Dream of liberty, private property and limited government?

       The answer is simple.  It has been soiled and corrupted by our political and legal establishment and the many special interests who seek to legally steal your wealth and destroy your liberty. The mob rule Thomas Jefferson warned about is here in America today. This mob is after your wealth and property through unfair taxes, regulations, controls and legal actions. Yes, we have a democratic form of government, a "democracy" if you will, but a democracy is neither a permanent form of government nor of benefit to a productive minority in a nation. Alexander Tyler warned about the future of a pure democracy where everyone has the right to vote, in contrast to our original republic established over two hundred years ago with property limitations on the right to vote.

"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves money from the public treasure. From that moment on the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most money from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's great civilizations has been two hundred years. These nations have progressed through the following sequence: from bondage to spiritual faith, from spiritual faith to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency, from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependency, from dependency back to bondage."   -- Alexander Tyler (When the thirteen colonies were still a part of England, Professor Alexander Tyler wrote about the fall of the Athenian republic over two thousand years previous to that time)

"Never forget that everything Hitler did in Germany was legal."    --- Martin Luther King Jr.

       Productive Americans are now entering the bondage period of our nation's political cycle where accumulated wealth will be stolen over time and through legal means.  Your only real choice is either to do nothing and become a victim, or defend your wealth now while you still have the chance. Political action in our special interest controlled democracy is meaningless in today's political system. The only vote you can make that really matters is to vote for defending your wealth by moving a portion of it to a protected program offshore. On the other end of the spectrum, you can also choose to vote with your feet and move not just your wealth but yourself, your family, and your career offshore until such time as the "mob rule" passes and our nation returns again from bondage back to maximum liberty.

       I am praying that the fast transition of events and the rapid speed of communications now possible in the 21st century will hasten the rebirth of liberty in our western civilization and a return to the original republic vision of our nation's Founding Fathers here in the United States. Still, I believe all current attempts to defend wealth and private property will only postpone confiscation and delay those out to expropriate your wealth unless wealth preservation programs are combined with education, political action, and the rebirth of liberty.  Working together we can help to turn the American Dream back into a reality for you, your family, and for all of the American people.

       Unfortunately, too many Americans will continue to trust in the current political and legal system.  They will seek to limit government plunder and bureaucratic excesses directed against productive Americans who have contributed so much to this nation.  We fear that they will do so at their peril, and history clearly shows this to be true.  By a thorough reading of the history of lost wealth and liberties in other countries, it is apparent that trusting in failed or corrupted political and legal institutions is costly, not only financially, but to personal freedoms and liberty as well.

"When plunder has become a way of life for a group of people living together in society, they create for themselves in the course of time a legal system that authorizes it, and a moral code that glorifies it."     -- Frederic Bastiat 

My Personal Search for the Ultimate and Legal Wealth Preservation Strategies

       Often utilizing the best investment options in the world of financial services-- outside the mainstream view of Wall Street—can not only bring superior profits, but also help diversify one's portfolio, thereby reducing overall portfolio risk and market volatility.  Big government, big business, and big financial service conglomerates are often noted for making the wrong business moves at exactly the worst possible time. For example, in 1996, I created the first variable annuity based Swiss Franc Bond Portfolio available in the USA. In 2001, the corporation, Pioneer Mutual Funds, decided to close the portfolio at almost the exact low of the Swiss franc, when it was around 55 cents. Now the currency is over 82 cents.  This kind of decision is typical of the entire Wall Street financial services industry that brought you the tech bubble and Nasdaq collapse a few years ago.

       Today, the Dow Jones Industrial Average has finally surpassed the 13,000 level. Wall Street is saying a new day has dawned for Wall Street and that the sky is the limit for U.S. equity investments.  Do not allow yourselves to fall trap to this jargon.  I believe this is the time to be selling American equities and deceasing one’s exposure to the American stock market but most people will probably buy into our over-valued markets.  My point is that many market experts tell us that the vast majority of public investors make the wrong investment decisions at the worst possible times. This human failure also carries over to the so-called “Wall Street experts” and their mistakes have certainly been shown for all the public to see over the last couple of years.

       There are basically four components to defending your investment wealth and purchasing power. First, you have to be in the right nation's stock and bond markets to achieve an adequate investment return. Second, you need to be in a currency moving up verses your home currency, in order to provide a double kicker to the return of currency gains plus equity appreciation. Third, you need to have proper diversification among investment classes in order to reduce the chance of market value risk and loss. Finally, you must have your assets in an asset-protected environment.  The environment should be relatively immune to threats of government, the legal system, and individual attacks, as well as free of terrorist and political risks.

Obstacles to Defending Your Wealth

       First of all, commission-driven investment salesmen are usually not the answer. Depending totally on a stockbroker to provide investment advice, especially when most are under so much corporate pressure to generate investment commissions, is a recipe for disaster. For those of you who have followed this unwise course of action during the last few years, you will understand the problem and recognize that this is not the solution to a secure investment strategy.

       Second, foreign currency diversification can work to your benefit during periods of dollar weakness. However, in times of dollar strength your percentage in U.S. dollar denominated investments should be increased depending on how much of your total wealth is denominated in dollars. Although the long-term dollar trend is down, markets never just go in one direction. Therefore, there will be times for short-term increases in your dollar positions.

       Global diversification is also important because world markets do not always move together in tandem.  Proper global geographic diversification can increase your return while simultaneously reducing your overall single market risk. Many American investors, formerly trusting in only U.S. equities and the  optimistic stock market analysis and rosy reports from the U.S. financial services industry, can attest to the problems with this failed all American strategy.

       While patriotism is important for every nation and people, it is foolish to invest according to this lofty principle.  It does not really matter how much profits you make or the size of your investment portfolio or individual net worth if a private, legal, or government thug steals your wealth. So wave a flag or sing The Star Spangled Banner if you want to be patriotic but do not confuse patriotism with proper investment management.

       The aforementioned misconceptions explain why asset protection and wealth preservation are such important parts of defending your wealth. The above problems, concerns and obstacles have been the reasons for my quest for the ultimate, legal, asset protection strategy to help build investment profits and defend wealth in this new 21st century.

"You've been had by investment analysts who privately referred to their "strong buy" recommendations as 'pigs,' 'powder kegs'," and "pieces of junk.'.... You've been had by brokers and financial planners whose interest in their own fees and commissions far exceeds their interest in your financial welfare.....* You've been had by insurance agents who have tried to sell you more protection than you need -- at prices only the trusting would pay....You've been had by leading Wall Street firms like those that just paid the biggest fines in SEC history -- a total of more than $1.1 billion -- for blatantly compromising your interests for theirs.... You've been had by corporate chieftains -- at companies like Enron, Adelphia, Global Crossing and WorldCom -- who have sold employees and shareholders down the river to satisfy their own lust for power and money....And you've been had by mutual fund companies who successfully marketed the idea that they could safely navigate your retirement money through treacherous financial markets."             -- James Boxley Cook, Honorary Chairman, The Oxford Club The URL is www.oxfordclub.com/

I Discovered a Superior Wealth Planning Strategy in Switzerland

       My goal was to search out the best offshore asset protection concepts that were tax-deferred, in order to avoid the red flag of foreign income on an investor’s tax return. Second, investors need the opportunity for diversification and management.  This is important so that investment advisors and individual clients can have the widest range of investment options and currencies in order to take advantage of world market and currency conditions in light of their unique objectives. For maximum asset protection, the strategy should be domiciled outside the political jurisdiction of the United States, outside the lawsuit-mad American court system, and outside of U.S. markets and institutions that may well be the prime targets of future terrorist attacks. Now high net worth investors can have all of this, plus the ability to protect the strategy and underlying investments behind a strong bulwark of personal and financial security. This can prevent the breach of your financial affairs by probing lawyers and snooping bureaucrats.

       Finally, due to the weakening of asset protection trust defenses and the increasing use by lawyers and judges of the "turn over the funds or else" strategy, I have found other features that better safeguard  your asset protected funds from being turned over in the event of duress or coercion. This very important benefit, along with the privacy and confidentiality aspects of attorney-client privilege, can result in an updated asset protection strategy that provides the best legal asset protection and wealth preservation for concerned American investors.

Ron Fact, Book & Video Recommendations For This Page:
I really do believe our nation is entering a period of bondage and economic dislocation and disruption. Why should the United States be immune to the laws of economics, politics and history that have destroyed every world empire before us?  The ultimate result of our actions in the cycle of history is not in doubt, only the timing of our loss in wealth, living standards and liberty. Act soon, before it is too late. - Ron Holland
